Good Morning Maple Grove Friends,
I am am so happy to be doing this writing project with your class. My students and I always look forward to writing to you every day. You didn't hear from us yesterday(Tuesday) because our server was having technical problems. I am writing this to you at home (7am). I hope our tech problems have been fixed today.
A big hello to my beautiful cousin Delia! I am really looking forward to her visit to PEI in May. We plan to eat a lot of lobster, walk on the beach and bike on our Confederation Trail. When the trains stopped running on Prince Edward Island about 15 years ago, all the train tracks were removed and biking/walking/skiing trails were constructed in their place. It is now possible to travel from one end of our Island to the other by foot, bike or on skis using this beautiful trail.
I hope you all have a great day! You all sound like a wonderful group of children.
Love
Darla Thompson

Dear:Taylor
Do you remember me?
My favourite place in the word is Sea World.You probably don’t know what I am talking about, do you? You get to swim with sharks and also feed them. You can go and watch plays with seals. Its really really fun! You even get to play with the seals. Plus, you get to ride with Dolphins.
Where is your favourite place to go?
Sincerely,
William

Letter To Landon
My name is William. I live in Oakville Ontario. I have two brothers, one sister, one fish and a dog.
I like Maple Grove because it has nice teachers and no bullies.
I like to snowboard and I go in competitions. The thing I hate the most is guacamole because I don't like the taste.
Sincerely,
William

Letter to Shelby
Dear: Shelby,
Hi, how are you? My name is Rachel and I am your pen pal too. There are more children in our class than there is in yours so some of us had to partner up. I am Sam's partner. I am telling you this so that you know to write to both Sam and I. It has been great hearing from you. Here is a little bit about me:

Dear: Shelby
(Wow! you have a pretty name!)
My name is Rachel and I have one sister and she is 11 and turning 12. I am in a family of four. I have a mother,father, and my annoying sister. My best friend is Kiah and she is a girl. In the morning I go to a place called Children’s Choice. I hate Children’s Choice. I love Maple Grove so much because it has fun activities like track & field and the talent show. I hate some kind of amimals. I especially hate ducks because they bite. But they are so cute. I love singing and dancing. I have some questions for you.
.Are you a vegetarian? I like eating meat but I will cry if I see an animal killed.
.What soup do you like?
.How old are you?
.How many people are in your family?
.Do you have a pet?
.What kind of sport do you play?
.Do you have a sister?
I’m looking forword to hearing about you.

Hello from Oakville, Ontario
Dear Darla,
We are enjoying writing to your interesting and wonderful students in PEI. We are hoping to be able to share information about Ontario and in turn, learn about the unique island of PEI. I like your idea of coming up with topic letters to help us focus our letter writing and to help us organise our thoughts.
I hope that each of your students has received at least one letter from their blog buddy. We are writing first in our word processing program and printing the letter so that I may look over the letters and help with editing before the blogs are posted but I think that the responses in "comments" can be submitted right away, on line. I am sure that you will agree that it is exciting to receive a reply and an answer right away. In this way the class can even access the blog at home to read and add comments to their messages, giving more time in class to write the more detailed and informative letters.
Looking forward to another message,
Love,
Your Lucky Cousin,
Delia
